Lampedusa inaugurates Museum of Trust and Dialogue for the Mediterranean with Caravaggio loan

On June 3, the Museo della Fiducia e del Dialogo per il Mediterraneo will be launched on the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, located at the Museo Archeologico delle Pelagie. This initiative is a collaboration among the Gallerie degli Uffizi, Mucem in Marseille, Museo Correr in Venice, Museo del Bardo in Tunis, and the Getty Museum in Malibu, with backing from the Municipality of Lampedusa e Linosa, Comitato 3 ottobre, and several cultural ministries. The museum will remain open until October 3, marking the tragic 2013 shipwreck that claimed the lives of 368 migrants. Notable exhibits will feature a Caravaggio painting, the Head of Hades, and artifacts from the disaster. Italian President Sergio Mattarella and Culture Minister Dario Franceschini are anticipated to attend.
